Chapter 326 I am indeed Xie from the Xie Family Army

"Once Old Lady Xie dies, the anger of the Northern Border Army towards the Emperor of Daqian will naturally shift to the Northern Hu Army and you."

"Morale is high, and it's hard to fight."

"At least you don't want to lose sleep every night, worrying that the soldiers in the Northern Army who are loyal to the Xie family will secretly assassinate you."

"Prince Zuoxian, Old Lady Xie can die."

"But I cannot die at the hands of the army you lead."

"A fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. Killing old lady Xie, who has long been forgotten by the world, is not a great achievement that will shock everyone, but it will create a deadly feud..."

"Think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?"

King Zuoxian said that he was shamefully persuaded.

So King Zuoxian put away his bows and arrows and issued an order to capture Old Lady Xie alive.

Gao Fuyan looked at Old Lady Xie from afar, sighing in his heart.

Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals and are not allowed to grow old in the world.

Old Mrs. Xie is still living with gray hair and a dying breath. Is it a blessing or a curse?

Perhaps, fortunately or unfortunately, it is no longer important.

That was all he could do for Old Lady Xie.

The sounds of fighting rang out on the battlefield, and the air was filled with an increasingly strong smell of blood.

Old Master Xie's armor was covered in blood and broken flesh, and he was shaking as if he was about to fall.

I am old after all.

"Gao Fuyan."

In a battle whose outcome was certain, King Zuo Xian was not in a hurry and even had the leisure to chat.

"I heard that you were convicted for supporting the Xie family?"

"Regret?"

The Daqian official position, the third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War, is truly a high and powerful position. Gao Fuyan is in his prime and will sooner or later take over the position of Shangshu.

One question will lead to nothing.

Gao Fuyan answered without hesitation: "I regret it."

"Of course I regret it."

The price of a question was so high that he had nightmares every night and was filled with hatred.

mother.

younger brother.

wife.

daughter.

son.

Dead.

All dead.

It was such a miserable death.

But does he really regret speaking up for the Xie family?

No, what he regretted most was that he did not see Prince Kang's evil ambitions earlier and failed to help Emperor Jingxiang to clear the court.

At first, he was quite dissatisfied with the sensational affair between Emperor Jingxiang and Shu Yuan, and he also muttered in his heart that Emperor Jingxiang did not have the appearance of a wise ruler.

But in the past few years, not being in the court, I have seen things more clearly.

Be it being inseparable from Shu Dajian or being cold and distant to the Empress, all the infamy of Emperor Jingxiang ended within the palace walls.

Emperor Jingxiang was quick to accept good advice and was concerned with the people's livelihood. To his court officials and the people, he was a qualified emperor.

Everyone was deceived by Prince Kang's kind face.

Prince Zuo Xian was unaware of the turmoil in Gao Fuyan's heart and teased him, "If you had returned earlier, perhaps you would still have a living family, a lovely wife and concubines, and children to enjoy your company."

Gao Fuyan curled his lips and smiled, "King Zuo Xian is right."

"I was blind and ignorant in the past, but now I have the care of King Lao Zuoxian."

"Okay, okay." Zuo Xian Wang packed a lot of things.

Gao Fuyan raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the smoke from the Zhenzhi Pass was burning.

Will Shengyan Pass be able to see such a huge smoke signal?

After seeing this, will we continue to turn a blind eye or will we have a change of heart and support the shutdown?

He gave the defenders of Shengyan Pass the opportunity to make a choice.

if……

If there is still no reinforcement...

Under the Ministry of War, there is a Zhifangsi, which is in charge of the map of the world and the territory of the world.

He was the Minister of War and had visited the Zhifangsi more than once to review the maps of various places in Daqian and was aware of every weak point.

No one knew that he was born with a photographic memory.

What kind of defense map is this for Zhenzhiguan? It's just a fake move.

His greatest reliance is in his brain.

Therefore, if there is still no reinforcement, it is better for Daqian to be destroyed.

With his contributions, it would not be difficult to save Old Master Xie and Empress Dowager Xie.

But if reinforcements come...

There are still passionate people in Daqian's Northern Border Army, and Daqian's country can still be saved.

As for him, he is dead.

…

The road at night is very long, so long that you can't see the end.

The road at night is very quiet, so quiet that echoes can be heard everywhere.

A team of people sent by Old Lady Xie to Shengyan Pass to report the news and ask for help were riding their horses at full speed on the mountain road.

The wind blew past, and the trees on both sides kept moving backwards.

Silence makes it easier to feel panic.

Someone looked back at the smoke rising into the sky and asked anxiously, "Can we, can we ask for reinforcements?"

How much more valuable are their lives than the smokescreen that is lit but ignored.

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, someone threw the ground and said loudly.

"Of course I can."

What some people didn't say was that even if they couldn't get reinforcements, they had to spread the news that King Zuo Xian was leading the Northern Hu army southward.

Daqian can do without Zhenzhi Pass, but it must not lose Shengyan Pass.

Now, we can only hold on to the slim hope and rush to Shengyan Pass. What if, what if the defenders of Shengyan Pass are willing to rescue Zhenzhi Pass?

Everyone sighed at the same time and continued on their way.

Shengyan Pass.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is naturally formed, with deserts and Gobi on both sides. It is majestic and spectacular, guarding the safety of the people of Daqian.

There is a fire tower every five miles, a watchtower every ten miles, and a fort every thirty miles.

For twelve hours, the patrol defense was uninterrupted.

Xie Yan first learned the news that Beihu Zuoxian King led his army to attack Zhiguan.

The wind in northern Xinjiang is always strong all year round.

Xie Yan stood on the city wall, gazing at the emergency smoke rising into the sky.

"Not sending troops?" Xie Yan asked anxiously.

The man standing next to Xie Yan was over thirty years old and commanded nearly ten thousand soldiers in the Northern Frontier Army.

Xie Yan rescued him from being trapped by a pack of wolves and immediately became their personal guard.

The middle-aged man stroked his beard nonchalantly and said meaningfully, "Look, are there any moves from other troops?"

"You have only been in the army for a short time, so you don't know the rules and regulations of the army."

Xie Yan lowered his eyes, feeling desolate in his heart.

Don’t you know the rules of the army?

He really didn't know when the Northern Frontier Army had this rule of not moving when seeing smoke of war.

For more than three years, the Northern Frontier Army made him feel very unfamiliar.

Xie Yanqing exhaled a breath of foul air, and said with a folded hand, "Please teach me, General."

The middle-aged man looked around and whispered, "It means that the people who are stuck in the town don't care about their lives."

"Besides, the northern barbarians are very sensible. They will just burn, kill, and loot and then leave. Even if we send troops to support them, it will be useless and will even look like mobilizing an army."

"A bunch of criminals, let them die if they die."

"If we lose the ship, it's lost. The higher-ups won't blame us."

Xie Zhuo felt terribly cold.

"General, what if this isn't just a robbery?"

"The smoke from the wolf is burning so fast and so big."

"No chance of that happening." The middle-aged man shouted, "Xie Yan, you have overstepped the line."

"Do you think your surname Xie means Xie of Xie's army?"

"All the real Xie family members are dead, and the generals in the Northern Frontier Army who were loyal to the Xie family have also been replaced."

"Your last name is really unlucky."

"What better last name than Xie?"

"If you hadn't saved my life from the wolves, I would never have kept you with me."

"Xie Yan, how about you acknowledge me as your godfather and change your last name..."

“Puff.”

The sound of a blade piercing flesh.

The middle-aged man's voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened.

"I am indeed Xie from the Xie Family Army."

"You can go with peace of mind."

Xie Yan led the troops
